The House of Representatives I want my money back!

I have had about all I can stand with the politicians in this country. Today I heard on the news that the House of Representatives spent my tax dollars on their personal agenda. That’s right they spent valuable time and tax dollars for there personal agenda. The House is protesting the war on Iraq with a Symbolic vote to demand the president pull out. The keyword here is SYMBOLIC, they have spent a day and a weekend on the clock no less voting for something that has no value to anyone but themselves. The House of Representatives took the time to vote their conscience. Excuse me but they are supposed to be representing ME, not themselves.

If I want to protest the war I have to take time off of work, create a poster, and place it on a stick. Then I have to walk up and down some streets to get my opinion heard.

What has the House accomplished?

Instead of taking their weekend time to protest their opinion, they have elected to use MY Tax Dollars to vote on a symbolic protest. Why do I say it’s my tax dollars? Simply put, they got paid to vote symbolically. They took that precious time to vote their opinion. That time is supposed to be spent on issues that can enact or disallow something that affects “WE THE PEOPLE”. A symbolic vote does only one thing: it gets media attention and ensures they get paid for doing absolutely nothing for the people of America.

When the House of Representatives uses my time and tax dollars to vote their opinion, it leaves me with no other choice but to demand my money back.

I vote and pay taxes so give me my money back.
